A client with lung cancer has developed an intractable, nonproductive cough that is unrelieved by nonopioid antitussive agents. The physician prescribes codeine, 10 mg by mouth every 4 hours. When discussing this medication with a nursing colleague, which statement that accurately describes codeine will the nurse include?
A. It's a centrally-acting antitussive and can cause dependence.
B. It's a peripherally-acting antitussive and can cause dependence.
C. It's a peripherally-acting antitussive and doesn't cause dependence.
D. It's a centrally-acting antitussive and doesn't cause dependence.
